Sorry, mine was 12:17pm, EST so the same time as mlg

Fellowship applicants: Can I ask what time of the day you all got your budget emails? I'm just wondering if they're sending them in waves or if I got passed over....or if any lurkers applied for a fellowship in Tajikistan, let me know!
I got my at 12:17pm.
-
I got an email too!
1) Fellowship
2) Philippines, Tagalog
3) Very detailed budget - line by line description of 5 categories: foreign travel (not just flight, but visa etc), materials and supplies, consultant services (e.g. transcription of interviews and tutoring), other (compensation of meals for interviewees), and books
-
Thanks Stephanie and Riverguide!
-
Riverguide or anyone else lurking from last year - do you remember how long it was between the survey and the "updating the budget" email? Thanks!
-
I got the general survey too. Did everyone?
-
It might happen but I remember my year (2008-2009 academic year) the website went down for maintanence multiple times before it was the "one" for releasing the results.

It's seems like academia is full of rejection letters, lighting the way to a really right path. Honeybunches, I really appreciate your perspective, and it's good to know you can always reapply for a Fulbright without having a red dot next to your name. And the best thing any of us can do is pick up and continue to walk forward.
Although I'm only a fourth year grad student, I have to say this is exactly what academia is like! Getting journal rejection after journal rejection can be heartbreaking (I cried the first time! lol) but this is the field I chose so I just need to build a thicker skin
Edited because "and" is not the same as "after"

also got a daad grant for the same project, so trying to decide which to accept. anybody have any thoughts?
This is something you need to to ask your advisor about.

Not yet, but I checked on the Illinois Fellowship website and they said their students received emails around March 23rd last year. I'm just relaxed now, since I know it's totally out of my hands.
I wonder if they send it out on a rolling basis, rather than all at once, since many said "late" March in last year's thread but I also specifically remember someone saying they got it on March 18
-
Just wanted to update with the link to the spread sheet: http://dl.dropbox.co...06/calendar.xls
You can update: Philippines, year 2006-2007, notified 4/17/2006

They just look for people who want to learn the language above all else, and of course 3-6-9 months are all very different in terms of learning a language.
True, but I wonder how the national security element is played into it since my project is very relevant to national security (or so says my dod husband who urged me to apply!)...I guess we'll see soon!
-
Really? Thank god because I applied for 9 months. I'm actually attaching an additional summer in front of the 9 months (with funding from another program, MAYBE), so I hope they'll favor my dedication to the language.
I'm in a similar position. I applied for 6 months of funded research but I'll actually be spending 3 months there beforehand, so I hoped that would be taken into account
-
Frankly, I've never met any Boren scholar who has gotten a six month grant. Usually they go for year grants only.
Huh. I could have sworn when I read materials they said 12 week minimum up to one year, with a preference for those trips that are longer in comparison (which I had read as in longer than the minimum not necessarily one year).
Thanks Kbui!
-
So I know we have a week or two more until we hear about who got the follow up email. Thought I'd ask your advice. How flexible do you think the Boren is in terms of sizing down the grant? I applied for funding for a 6 month grant but I recently learned I'm preggers (yay!) so will only be able to use three months of funding since I'm leaving soon (my proposal was multiple trips to a country)

Hi all, just got an email from my adviser who was sent an email from Fulbright that says, "This year we will be informing principal candidates, alternate candidates and not selected candidates of their status by email."
Wait, but didn't some candidates already receive snail mail?
-
Bumping this thread up to see if anyone knew when any of the review panels meet. I realize it'll be a few months until we get a decision (the website says within six months) but wanted to see if anyone knew anything about the panel meetings! (ps I applied for the law and social sciences one since they cancelled the sociology application for this cycle)

Im still waiting on a decision from ETA in Indonesia.
I think someone else had mentioned a situation where their current Fulbright status is keeping them from other opportunities. I am in that boat. I'm a pre-med student, and currently in the job interview process for something that would be a great stepping stone for med school. They will probably want a decision soon on the job, but I need to know about Fulbright before making a decision! If I decline the job, I might not get the Fulbright and end up with nothing. If I take the job and end up receiving the ETA, I would be upsetting a few people (potential med school faculty) if I leave them after a few months.
Any insight?
Do you have an offer? I think that you don't need to worry unless you receive a job offer before the Fulbright decision is made. If you do, they usually give you a few days or so to make a decision and you can ask for an extension to make the decision if need be.

Hi everyone. I'm hanging around as a grad student waiting to hear from the NSF DDIG and Boren but I thought I'd stop by this thread to offer myself as a resource. I was a 2006-2007 Fulbright Scholar, straight out of undergrad. If you have any questions (once you receive notification or beforehand) feel free to email me at snowblossom2 AT yahoo.com
-
I was totally kidding; I hang on every little bit of information I can get my hands on. Keep it up folks . . . more crowd-sourced intelligence please.
lol, I have a difficult time reading humor on boards sometimes
-
Thanks Pinkie, and no problem.
Didn't mean to cause more stress (if indeed, I did), but I remember being upset about the rejection and any little bit of knowledge about my standing helped (e.g. the millisecond before you open your email may not be very significant but it may also prepare you for the rejection). I'm waiting for the Boren, and know from those forums, that if I don't receive the "update" email in mid-March I probably didn't receive the award. Information sharing - that's what these forums are about!
-
So I don't know if this will help anyone but I was looking through my NSF stuff. I applied in 2008, was rejected. Re-applied in 2009, and received one. The email titles are different. One is "2009 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Awardee Notification" while the other was "2008 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Notification" Not sure if this isn't just a change in notification but it could be a signal, when you do receive news, about the outcome even before you open your email.
Good luck to all!

I'm in a fellowship program at my school that's part of an NSF IGERT and they flat out tell us to put it in our signatures. I always sign my email with the appropriate level of formality either way and don't use my signature as the end to my emails.. and I don't think it comes off as pretentious .. when receiving emails from other people with that in the signature I've never taken it to be pretentious.
It must be a discipline specific thing
